Jessica Lange Bashes Bush, Iraq War

BRONXVILLE, NY (AP) ― Oscar-winner Jessica Lange bashed the Bush administration and denounced the war in Iraq during a Friday commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College.

The star of "Tootsie" and "Blue Sky" was applauded by students at the small liberal arts college after comparing the conflict with the Vietnam War.

She said the graduates -- including her 22-year-old daughter Hannah Shepard -- have "a heavy burden" to chart a new path for the country.

"We are living in an America that, in the last seven and a half years, has waged an unnecessary war, established prison camps, condoned torture, employed corporate armies, eliminated the right of habeas corpus, practiced extraordinary rendition, and believe me, this is only a partial list," Lange said.

Lange asked the graduates to commit themselves to the "pursuit of peace."

In a few more years, she’ll look like Mary Tyler Moore does now!

Lange says she’s ashamed to be an American? I agree with her. I’m ashamed she’s an American too.

Why do schools invite idiots to speak at their commencement exercises? Is that supposed to make their graduates look smart by comparison?

“I’m just waiting for some animal rights group to start protesting laws prohibiting marriage between humans and other species.”

That’ll come for sure after the same sex marriage law is passed. I read an article in a Dutch newspaper of someone advertising that his goat (yes, his goat) was for rent by the hour to have sex with. I wouldn’t be surprised that there are those who responded to that ad. We’re going to the dogs. (No pun intended)

ahhh....another Hollywoodie speaks.

People who get paid for a certain "look" should not try to show off their brains.

There's a line in Romeo & Juliet:

Juliet's dad tells his servant to deliver some party invitations--the recipients of which are written on the invitations. The trouble is that servants can't read.

SERVANT: ... It is written, that the shoemaker should meddle with his yard, and the tailor with his last, the fisher with his pencil, and the painter with his nets; but I am sent to find those persons whose names are here writ, and can never find what names the writing person hath here writ. I must to the learned.

Actually, beastiality is quite legal in the state of WA, unless you can prove that the animal didn’t enjoy it. Yep, it’s true, remember the case about the man and the horse?

And, did the horse enjoy it? Sodom and Ghomorrah are slowely losing their bad reputation when they are compared with some of the places in the modern world.

If I had paid a fortune to send my kid to Sarah Lawrence only to have to sit through her graduation ceremony listening to this foul-mouthed lying communist hag insult our country, I think my head would explode.

But then I wouldn’t pay for my kid to go to that dump in the first place.

It never ceases to amaze me that there are enough rich idiots in this country to keep liberal indoctrination centers like this afloat.

Well, the horse enjoyed more than the man. The man died.

Noted thinker and philosopher Lange "studied art briefly at the University of Minnesota before going to Paris where she studied mime with Étienne Decroux."

Ooooh, ooooh - and she waited tables before the modeling agency discovered her intense and brilliant intellect...

31,000 scientists publicly reject the global warming hypothesis, with an announcement at the National Press Club, and AP can’t find the time to report it.

But an airhead actress, who once testified about farm legistlation because she played a farmer in a movie, issues an airhead opinion, and AP is right on it.

To paraphrase Homer Simpson’s famous observation: “Oscar winners. Is there anything they don’t know?”

___________________________________________

Really but the peace she was referring to is actually piece like piece of pie, cake, or chicken as her a$$ has grown quite large in her elderly years. Perhaps getting off that fat a$$ of hers and actually doing something rather than her personal pursuit of piece.
